It was such a comfortable stay. Everything was absolutely perfect. The hotel itself is very beautiful with so many lounge rooms, even with a yoga room. The guy that works at the reception, whose name is Jerad, is incredible. He did his best to make our stay so good. He treated us as if we were his beloved relatives. It was unbelievable. So sweet, and so pleasant. Jerad, thanks a million, because of you we had the best experience in Nuwara Elliya. The service is 5-star. Indeed. Our room was spacious, clean, with everything needed for a comfortable stay. It was cosy and beautiful too. I highly recommend Suriya Guest.

This homestay is located near Gregory Lake. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed and shown to my room and offered a refreshment of tea and Ginger cookies. A treat after a long trip from Kandy! There was a large lounge area for communal use, with a TV and comfortable sofas for guests. A small kitchen area with a fridge and filtered water station was available for guests to use. My bedroom was comfortable. The bed, linen, and pillows were very comfortable, which made for a decent night's rest! It had rained in the afternoon so the temperatures were cool. 2 warm, fluffy blankets were available for extra warmth. The bathroom was modern and well fitted out with a hair dryer- what a bonus💥 The family offered me a choice of breakfast before I left, but I only choose a fruit platter, with toast, butter and jam. Tea was on offered all the time. I had an excellent stay overnight at AGP homestay and would highly recommend this beautiful spot in Nuwara Eliya.

The place is very special because of Haritha. It literally means plantations and he is doing so many nice indoor plants projects apart from doing room services. The hotel is clean, quiet, and close to the centre. We stayed in 3 different places in Nuwara Eliya, and for the last few years, maybe few dozens. So far, the best place. We stayed in their apartment.

The host is nice. Can bring you to the tea factory with a reasonable tuk tuk price. On the way he will introduce the city to you. He also offered an walking tour (with a low price) to the highest point of sri lanka. The views on the way is stunning and you should definitely join that! There is also a free cooking class for you to learn how to cook curry in sri lanka style. You only have to pay the dinner fee and detailed explanation is given. The dinner is more than enough and yummy too.

We would give 15 out of 10 if it is possible. Place is very nice, clean, comfortable. We were group of 5 and used 2 rooms, both were great. Young couple who runs this place are very nice, helpful. We also had breakfast in guest house and it was fresh and tasty. View from the house is something special. House is out of center but with tuk tuk you will need no more than 5 minutes. We slept very good due to fresh air and calmness.

Super family run Guest House ideally situated. Keeth was a great host, extremely friendly and helpful in every way... we enjoyed our long conversations with him. The bedroom was huge, clean and comfortable. Hot water bottles and extra blankets were provided for cold nights and the Sri Lankan breakfasts delicious. Highly recommended for a stay in Nuwara Eliya
